Yeah so. The key is don’t tell them anything. Or take advantage of what you do tell them. The nice part about targeted advertising is you get to find out stuff you might actually care about.
First, that does not happen in my case; I don't see ads. I do not decide I want something by not knowing what I want in the first place, seeing an ad and deciding I want that. I first learn of something after I have decided I want to consider getting a type of thing and then decide to go look for it. Until then, I do not see the ads.
I don't agree with their business model because I don't agree with their personal data mining and collection in the first place.
I do not believe it will have a benevolent end, in the end and I see the "targeted" ad aspect as simply a means of trying to convince people to accept it - "for their own good". It;s not. It's strictly for google and FB "good".
